Disappointing sequelI usually love the Mosaics Galore type of games, so I bought without trying this one, and I regret it. The pictures are not fun fantasy-type images, but instead pretty bland photos. Also the mosaic pieces don't have much correlation to the picture. I know other reviewers have already said this but man, the more I play, the more disappointed I am.
There is a relaxed mode with no time limit, and you can get 3 stars in relaxed mode, so you can still progress normally without having to worry about time. The challenge is still quality, but it's hard to give 5 stars even on that aspect since the photos are so boring.

Sort of disappointedI agree with others. The pictures do not match the cover picture. Also the pictures were sort of bland. I do like this type of game. It is challenging. I do not turn on speakers so can't fairly rate the sound. I do wish the pictures were more clear, they seemed kind of fuzzy which took away from the beauty of the over all completed picture. I also noticed on the last group there seems to be a glitch. Once I finish the puzzles the game seems to lock up and not save. I thought at first I did something and played the same game 3 times but still came back that I had not started and logged out before I completed the picture losing my game. Over all I was disappointed. There are so many beautiful games and this was one of them until this latest version.

disappointingI love the mosaics puzzles and have the other mosaics galore. However, this game has ugly pictures and boring cuts of the pieces. There is no connectivity to the theme of the each level. I finished the first level, but didn't see any brain teaser puzzles that were in the description. I do not recommend this game.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BEAUTIFUL FANTASY THEMED PICTURES?I have a few personal issues with this third installment of Mosaics Galore. These pictures are not interesting at all and certainly not like the other two fantasy-themed pictures offered before such as elves and beautiful phoenix birds, instead, you get pictures of a fireplace mantel and a sack of potatoes, what's next, a lump of coal?
The second problem I have with this particular version took place on the 6th puzzle in the first Location. (There are 5 Locations and 20 puzzle levels in each) You pick up a piece of mosaic from the right side (There is a Left-Hand mode as well) normally, you have to click to drop or set the puzzle piece where you want to place it, but for some reason one of the scrolls would drop the second it hit the board, causing me to make a mistake and consequentially a key or star rating. I thought that maybe I had accidentally clicked the scroll piece so I restarted the level and everything was working well until I got to that same scroll puzzle piece. I restarted the level a third time and got the same result, so out of frustration I quit the game.
As for the game itself, the idea is to complete the images within the allotted time (there is a relaxed, untimed mode as well) To earn all three Keys you must complete the image within the very brief allotted time frame without making any mistakes. You can add +30 seconds to the timer or refill the Hints on that level for a whopping 5000 points, but in my opinion, they don't give you enough time to complete the puzzle in the first place, especially after the first Location.
Lastly, if you have played any Mosaic Game by 8 Floor, you won't be surprised to find that nothing has changed. The music is always the same, the features are always the same, the design is always the same, even the title is basically the same. They simply recycle puzzles and sometimes they change the background pictures (but even those tend to stay the same from one game in a series to the next) They offer so many games yet put forth so little effort, I no longer need to take notes while playing a game by this dev, I know the features will always be the same game after game. Looking at the bright side, look at how many trees I save by not wasting paper taking notes!

Why not give us photo quality mosaics?I agree with all the others who gave Challenging Journey a rating of only one or two stars.
I normally like to play timed games to test my speed and agility, but these puzzles were impossible to solve in the tiny bit of time they gave me. Having to pause, to purchase more seconds of time, is ridiculous and also very costly.
The music and interface is the same as all the previous games in this series. Nothing has changed. In fact, even some of the backgrounds looked familiar.
My biggest complaint is the horrible graphics. Washed out, hand drawn pictures are not pleasing to look at and get boring really fast. In many cases, I had no idea what the subject or the puzzles pieces were. What's wrong with using photo quality graphics? This developer needs to 'up their game' (pun intended)

Sorry, but this is a very simple game with very poor picturesSo far, mosaics galore have been one of my favorite game series, but this one is just boring and way too easy and certainly not magical.
I wonder when the challenge finally starts as the title suggests, but I lost my patience.

I Really Do Try To Give A Positive ReviewBut nothing ever changes to help me out. I was once again disappointed. The first location was "Flowering Garden". No idea why that name was chosen. The colors in every puzzle were very bland, saw no hint of beauty anywhere. The lines remained around the pieces after puzzle completed.
On a positive note, there is a relaxed mode and pleasant music. But still, the usual less than delightful fare is again present from this dev! I found no resemblance to the beauty and fun once offered many moons ago. Maybe I should have played longer, but really had no desire after finishing the "Flowering Garden." Sad, very sad. Sorry! But maybe someone else will enjoy this newest 8-Floor offering much more than I.
God Bless....
